It was one proud day for the Palos Heights Police Department!

Yesterday, we were honored to receive a scholarship from Elevate Blue. We will be taking advantage of this scholarship by sending newly sworn in Sergeant Bill Moritz to a Staff and Command class hosted by Northwestern Univ. Center for Public Safety.

We continued to celebrate Detective Bill Moritz who was sworn in as Sergeant at the City Council meeting. Congratulations to Sergeant Moritz on your well-earned promotion and we look forward to your continued service to the residents of Palos Heights.

And last but certainly not least, we presented a lifesaving award to newly promoted Detective Jake Wiegand whose quick actions and commitment to his community helped save a young girl’s life.

Please help us in recognizing and congratulating our exceptional officers on their well-deserved achievements!

Congratulations to John!!! He won a ride to school in a police car and arrived at Palos East in style. PHPD wants to thank John and his family for being big supporters of law enforcement. It was our pleasure to meet John and his family.

Have a great day John!!

Turns out, Officer Apostal is as good a chauffeur as he is a police officer. John arrived safe and sound.

We cannot thank all of you enough for your support and efforts throughout this campaign. This was truly a team effort. We were competing against several much larger municipalities, and accomplishing this was no small feat.

Thank you all again for helping bring this opportunity home to Palos Heights.

Please join us in congratulating SRO Vinson on being recognized as Shepard High School’s “Staff Member of the Week” during the school’s year-end staff meeting!

Dr. Baker praised SRO Vinson for the incredible impact she has made throughout the school during her very first year as a School Resource Officer. In a short amount of time, she has built strong relationships with students and staff alike and has truly become a cornerstone of the Shepard community.

As SRO Vinson received her “Moon Man” award — which she will proudly carry until next school year — she was met with a standing ovation from the staff in attendance, a testament to the respect and admiration she has earned.

Congratulations to SRO Vinson on an outstanding first year. Your dedication, positivity, and commitment to the students and staff of Shepard High School have not gone unnoticed!
